Errata for Miller "Flow Measurement Engineering Handbook" Second edit
(OP)
Does anyone have an errata sheet or a link for the errata for the second edition of "Flow Measurement Engineering Handbook" by Richard W. Miller?
I just purchased a used second edition. Equation (9.95) looks wrong. It looks like the middle term is inverted and should be rho_l/rho_g (density liquid / density of vapor).
the entire equation is
rho_TP = rho_l/(1 + X(rho_g/rho_l -1))
I looked on the McGraw-Hill site but could not find an errata. Maybe someone could look in their third edition for me. But where there is one error....I really need the errata.
Thanks

You'll probably have to rely on your own analysis. I never got an errata for the first edition, and don't expect to get one for the second.

Thanks for your post. My analysis was:
?_tp = ?_l + X ( ?_g - ? _l)
?_tp = {1/[1/?_l + X (1/?_g – 1/ ?_l)]} * ?_l / ?_l
?_tp = ?_l / ( 1 + X (?_l/ ?_g -1))
so I feel good about it.

v_tp = v_l + X ( v_g - v_l)
rho_tp = { 1/[1/rho_l + X (1/rho_g – 1/ rho_l)]} * rho_l / rho_l
rho_tp = rho_l / ( 1 + X (rho_l/ rho_g -1))

Do either of the references (ASME MFC-3M or API MPMS 14.3) contain a treatment of low enthalpy (say X= 0.25 ) two-phase flow?
